22 August 2018, Cambridge, United Kingdom – The team of Fetch.AI, Machine Learning, and blockchain developers who are creating a brand new environment for Autonomous Economic Agents to autonomously exchange value, today announced their intention to hold an ICO during the second half of 2018 and opens the whitelisting process for the ICO.

The ICO will be carried out by Fetch.AI Foundation Pte Ltd, Fetch.AI’s Singapore subsidiary, The whitelist for the ICO has now opened and eligible participants can sign up at https://fetch.ai. Contributions for the ICO will be collected in ETH only via a secure, user friendly, online widget.

The total hardcap for both the public and private aspects of this fundraising round is set at $30 million for 20% of Fetch tokens.

Overall, the total number of Fetch tokens to be minted is set at 1,152,997,575. A large number of tokens are required to enable large numbers of micro-transactions taking place within the Fetch.AI network.

The Fetch token is the key method of value exchange on the Fetch network. It is required for all network exchanges and autonomous economic agents use it in order to perform certain tasks on the network. For example, Fetch tokens allow agents to access the digital world and are used to fund tasks such as data processing via AI and Machine Learning algorithms.

This announcement comes two days after Fetch.AI’s first code release of its scalable ledger concept – see blog post: Another milestone passed: the first code release. This code release focuses on the Remote Procedure Call infrastructure and transaction processing which is core to the ledger and is a critical building block of the Fetch.AI protocol.

The proceeds of the Fetch.AI ICO will be used to fund:

The development of the Fetch.AI system, comprising its unique and highly scalable Smart Ledger, its massive decentralised Digital World and Autonomous Economic Agents.

Building a team of leading AI, Machine Learning, Blockchain and Computational Economic talent. Fetch.AI has already grown its team to 30 experts drawn from academia and leading technology companies. Fetch expects the team to reach 60 outstanding minds over coming months.

Academic partnerships. Fetch.AI has already partnered with the University of Cambridge and Warwick Business School, in addition to forming relationships with UCL London and Imperial College. Adding to this and strengthening existing academic partnerships will help Fetch accelerate the development of its network.

Corporate partnerships. Fetch.AI is already part of the MOBI consortium of major automotive manufacturers representing 70% of the world’s auto manufacturing capacity. Investing in proof of concept deployments of Fetch with major corporations is a key priority for Fetch.AI.

Details regarding individual caps for whitelisted participants, more detailed token metrics and a thorough explanation of the Fetch token’s utility within the network are available, within a new paper. See https://fetch.ai/publications.
